Plot
The story takes place in the year 2074, in a futuristic city where science has developed by leaps and bounds, and the Juralian aliens are planning to invade Earth. The protagonist, Ken Izumi, disguises himself as Chargeman and struggles to protect the Earth from the threat of the Juralians.
Characters
Humans
Ken Izumi (泉 研, Izumi Ken)
The protagonist of the franchise, a 10-year-old boy at Yoi primary school, somewhere in Japan. Ken is extremely powerful, able to inflict debilitating punches on a Juralian who has been credibly disguised as a boxing champion. He has the ability to transform into Chargeman Ken when exposed to even a minuscule amount of light, though the total lack of it has prevented him from transforming several times. As Chargeman Ken, he has the mount Sky Rod and carries the Alpha Gun, both of which can instantly kill Juralians by a beam-like attack, and wears the Vizum Belt that can make a lethal vortex of wind. He kills Juralians indiscriminately, even if they are not attacking or are running away. There are several instances of his dispensing with large amounts of hostages in ruthless attacks on Juralian fortifications and transports. Ken's only admitted weakness per se is mathematics, but his hatred for tomato juice has been used to identify his imposter.
Caron Izumi (泉 キャロン, Izumi Kyaron)
Ken's 7-year-old sister. She has compassion for animals and is often supportive of her brother.
Hiroshi Izumi (泉 博, Izumi Hiroshi)
Ken and Caron's father. He is described as a physician, though he has never been shown practicing medicine in the anime series. Indeed, his wife has forgotten his profession, and he himself commented on a mental hospital in a derogatory fashion.
Saori Izumi (泉 さおり, Izumi Saori)
Ken and Caron's mother and Hiroshi's wife.
Barican (バリカン, Barican)
Ken's Robot Companion.
Juralians
Maou (魔王, Maō)
The chief antagonist of the franchise, leader of the Juralians invading Earth. Atypical for Juralians, Maou has two eyes.
Juralians (ジュラル星人, Juraru seijin)
Juralians are vaguely humanoid, maroon-colored, with a slim waist, broad chest, long, tentacle-like limbs, and have a single eye capable of emitting a beam-like attack that can disintegrate any life form it hits and do severe damage to structural members of buildings and towers. They have the ability to transform into other lifeforms, such as humans or horses. Juralians do not have reflections in mirrors, a characteristic used by Ken and other protagonists to distinguish them from humans and robots.
